I grew up in a relatively conservative United Church (which is no longer a church) so I've always adhered to the values as well, at least loosely like most modern pseudo Christians and agnostics do. There was mostly only doctrine there and no active pursuance of Christ. I have been feeling like something has been missing for a long time. I started listening to Jordan Peterson's Biblical lectures back when he began tgose and that opened to door to further study on my part. Since then I've been seeking the truth and that has led me to God's word. I want to pursue as many translations as I can to get as close to it as possible. I'm not a maximalist of any specific translation. I'm continuing my journey and understanding of the word of God and I simply aknowledge that I believe in Christ and what he stands for.

Fr. Seraphim Rose speaks well to the post modern culture we find ourselves in. He has some books available that you may find edifying in your pursuit to Truth. He writes and speaks from a place considered by most Orthodox Christians as illumined. image
Ah, i listened to those as well. Very interesting to hear his interpretation. I had been out it for too long and when i was young i found it too hard to understand. I'm happy for you that you found your way!
